And so we don’t have to go to this site to check whether anything has been added, we’ll know through the magic of RSS. Smart. And while we’re using text in our examples below, RSS is sophisticated enough to cope with other content formats including audio (podcasting), pictures (photocasting) and even video (vodcasting?!), so these instructions could be repurposed quite easily for a range of different tasks.

    Yee et al. The Tablecast Data Publishing Protocol The Tablecast Data Publishing Protocol Ka-Ping Yee Dieterich Lawson Google Medic Mobile [email protected] [email protected] Dominic König Dale Zak Sahana Foundation Medic Mobile [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT We describe an interoperability challenge that arose in Haiti, identify the parameters of a general problem in crisis data management, and present a protocol called Tablecast that is designed to address the problem. Tablecast enables crisis organizations to publish, share, and update tables of data in real time. It allows rows and columns of data to be merged from multiple sources, and its incremental update mechanism is designed to support offline editing and data collection. Tablecast uses a publish/subscribe model; the format is based on Atom and employs PubSubHubbub to distribute updates to subscribers. Keywords Interoperability, publish/subscribe, streaming, synchronization, relational table, format, protocol INTRODUCTION After the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, there was an immediate need for information on available health facilities. Which hospitals had been destroyed, and which were still operating? Where were the newly established field clinics, and how many patients could they accept? Which facilities had surgeons, or dialysis machines, or obstetricians? Aid workers had to make fast decisions about where to send the sick and injured— decisions that depended on up-to-date answers to all these questions. But the answers were not readily at hand. The U. S. Joint Task Force began a broad survey to assess the situation in terms of basic needs, including the state of health facilities. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) was tasked with monitoring and coordinating the actions of the many aid organizations that arrived to help.

  • Assessing the Quality of Mobile Graphical User Interfaces Using Multi-Objective Optimization
    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Assessing the Quality of Mobile Graphical User Interfaces using Multi-objective Optimization Makram Soui · Mabrouka Chouchane · Mohamed Wiem Mkaouer · Marouane Kessentini · Khaled Ghedira the date of receipt and acceptance should be inserted later Abstract Aesthetic defects are a violation of quality attributes that are symp-toms of bad interface design programming decisions. They lead to deteriorating the perceived usability of mobile user interfaces and negatively impact the Users eXperience (UX) with the mobile app. Most existing studies relied on a subjective evaluation of aesthetic defects depending on end-users feedback, which makes the manual evaluation of mobile user interfaces human-centric, time-consuming, and error-prone. Therefore, recent studies have dedicated their effort to focus on the definition of mathematical formulas that each targets a specific structural quality of the interface. As the UX is tightly dependent on the user profile, the combi-nation and calibration of quality attributes, formulas, and users characteristics, when defining a defect, is not straightforward. In this context, we propose a fully automated framework which combines literature quality attributes with the users profile to identify aesthetic defects of MUI. More precisely, we consider the mobile user interface evaluation as a multi-objective optimization problem where the goal is to maximize the number of detected violations while minimizing the detection complexity of detection rules and enhancing the interfaces overall quality in means M.

  • OSINT) Analyst Overtly Passive / Covertly Active Surveillance / Reconnaissance Observation / Exploration Eye / Spy
    Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Analyst Overtly Passive / Covertly Active Surveillance / Reconnaissance Observation / Exploration Eye / Spy PREFACE This deskside/pocket smartbook contains information to assist you, the open source intelligence analyst, in carrying out your research responsibilities in a Intelligence Oversightmanner that first of all adhere to intelligence oversight and follow the guide lines of AR 381-10, Executive Order 12333, and unit standard operating procedures (SOP). The second is to practice and implement effective operational security (OPSEC) measures during data and information collection activities online. A fine line exists between collection and acquisition, and examples will be pointed out throughout the handbook. This handout is not written specifically for the military active or passive OSINT Analyst but rather as an all-purpose guide for anyone doing research. The one big advantage for the passive OSINT Analyst is that it does not require interaction with the mark. Therefore, it poses little risk since it does not alert the target to the presence of the analyst. If a technique violates Intelligence Oversight and OPSEC, then common sense must take center stage. For those in the civilian community (law enforcement, journalists, researchers, etc.), you are bound by a different set of rules and have more latitude. One important thing to keep in mind is that when threats are mentioned the majority tend to think they are military in nature. We think of Iran, North Korea, and other countries with a military capability. That is not the case. Threats can be the lone wolf types, a disgruntled worker, someone calling in a bomb threat to a hospital, etc.

  • Facilitating One Patient One Record Access with Dr. Oleg Bess 4Medica an Empowered Patient Podcast Published August 17, 2021
    Facilitating One Patient One Record Access with Dr. Oleg Bess 4medica An Empowered Patient Podcast Published August 17, 2021 Karen Jagoda: Welcome to the EmpoweredPatientPodcast.com show. I'm Karen Jagoda, and my guest today is Dr. Oleg Bess. He's the founder and CEO of 4medica. 4medica.com. I want to welcome you to the show today, Oleg. I know you're a busy doctor, and I really appreciate you taking a few minutes to be with us. Dr. Oleg Bess: Thank you. Thank you, Karen. It's a pleasure. Karen Jagoda: Thank you. Let's start with just giving us a sense of the mission of 4medica. Dr. Oleg Bess: Sure. 4medica's mission is really to formulate a one patient, one record paradigm, where we are able to access a number of data sources for a patient. We have the engine that is able to, on-the-fly, real-time actually, add these records into the correct chart. Even in this country where there's no unique identifier for patients, we're able to look at all kinds of demographics data for the patient and on-the-fly place that record into the correct chart. Karen Jagoda: Part of this mission is to give patients more access to their own data, isn't it? Dr. Oleg Bess: Absolutely. And that's how we started. We started with actually working for laboratories, transmitting data from a doctor to a lab and from lab to the doctor. What we realized was that we needed this type of engine to be able to put it all together into the same chart.

  • Specifications for Implementing Web Feeds in DLXS Kevin S
    Hawkins 1/5/2011 5:01:52 PM Page 1 of 5 * SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING OFFICE WHITEPAPER Specifications for implementing web feeds in DLXS Kevin S. Hawkins Executive Summary SPO uses DLXS to deliver nearly all of its publications online, but this software does not offer any functionality for web feeds (commonly called RSS feeds). The components of web feeds are reviewed, and recommendations are made for implementing Atom 1.0 web feeds in SPO publications using a script run during releasing which determines which content to push to the feed. Motivations Members of the editorial board of the Journal of Electronic Publishing (collid jep) and SPO staff have requested that web feed functionality be provided for SPO publications. This would allow end users to subscribe to feeds of not only serial content (the obvious use) but in theory any other collection to which content is added, especially on a regular basis. A feed could provide a single notice that a collection has been updated, perhaps with a table of contents (henceforth a small feed), or instead contain separate notices for each item added to the collection (a large feed). Components of a web feed A web feed operates with three necessary components: • a website that syndicates (or publishes) a feed • a feed standard being used by the website • the end user’s news aggregator (feed reader or news reader), which retrieves the feed periodically. A feed is an XML document containing individual entries (also items, stories, or articles). Syndicating a feed The content provider’s website often has buttons (icons called chicklets) to be used by the end user to add a feed to his or her news aggregator.
